Which is the most corrupt country in the world?

Certainly not India, that's what the report says. India features among the top 55 most corrupt countries in the world.

Finland, Newzealand & Denmark are the least corrupt countries whereas Bangladesh & Haiti are the worst. In a survey taken in 146 countries, India ranks 91 in the List scoring "High corruption" bracket. The only lighter factor for us to proud is our "brother" Pakistan comes under "Highest corruption" with a overall rank of 132, where as, bangladesh & haiti shares the honrs of "thirutha mudiyatha jenmangal" list with 145 & 146.

The survey indicates there is an increasing bribary happening in the buracuratic circles of all government departments . India on a whole is actually improved over last year. With the globalisation & privatisation in this country happening, we hope to achive a decent level in another 10-15 years.

My View on this:
Half of the corruption related activities happens because of individual & organisational failure to foresee/forecast or violate the rules. We, Indians, on a whole, are not nurturing a clean habit of homework, time management from our school days. The schools are the first step in corrupting individuals, every other school i have come across, only "fines" the student for coming late to class, which in turn, nurtures, that with money, you can get going. Our schools need to be strictly teaches about time management. To me, half of the bribes happeing in EB, PWD happens because the individual has not taken initiative to file things on time.
Still a long way to go in achiving a clean-hands environment, but there are largely improvements in every government departments per se.

This survey has been conducted by Transparency International and released in India by their Indian chapter chairman Admiral (Retd) R H Tahiliani. The full list of countries is available here
